The President of the Louisiana

call, fixing Tuesday, June IA, 1887,
as the date of the annual reunion
at Lake Charles Delegates to the
third annual convention of the Ma
tional Editorial Association which
takes place at Denver, Col, Sep
tember 6, 1887, are to be chosen,
and other important business is to
be transacted. Unusual prepare

be one Of the most largely attended

for colored people, and the most elabo-
rate preparation had been made for
celebrating the twenty fifth anniversary

no doubt but that the parade would
have been the most gorgeous AFFAIR ever
given by the coIored people Of the Dis
trict. The original plan contemplated =

House at twelve o'clock, but it was late
in the Afternoon before the procession
was formed aud during the entire
march the rain fell in torrents. Il can
readily be imagined that by the time
the White House grounds were reach

appearance. The rain had completely

"Choudrant" is the name Of q
railroad station in Lincoln parish,
at which point a newspaper called
the Farmers Union is published,
and yet it seems the place has no
post Office. At least we are led to
infer as much, since one of our
patrons informs us that register
ed letter, in which he forwarded
his subscription to the Union, was
returned to him with the indorse-
ment that there was no such post
Office in the State.

Who is to Blame ?

Under the head of "A Public
Shame" the N. O. Chronicle quotes
as follows
The following from the 0uachita Tele-
graph, despite its political bias. Is worthy
of immediate answer by those conversant
with all the facts
Are the people Of Louisisna aware that
large part OF the school funds paid by
them are being turned over to lawyer
at Baton Rouge, who charges the school
boards of the parishes one-half for his
services in getting the funds out OF the
State treasury? We have recently learned
to our utter amazement that w. h Rut-
land, lawyer living in Baton Rouge, il
doing q splendid business in representing
school boards in the collection from the
State of interest due them for several
years past, down to and including 1886.
He charges only the modest sum OF
one-half the amount collected for his
services. These funds are fixed by the
constitution Of 1879. The appropriations
are made by the Legislature, and il Is the
plain and imperative duty of every MEM
Der of the State administration to zee
that the schools get the benefit of the
taxes collected for them. Yet "for his
services" in getting these taxes q lawyer
is allowed one-half | What services are
necessary?
Must the people pay officials to do their
duties and then pay lawyers to make them
perform those duties? Alas! poor Lou
isiana! Overtaxed, beridden with an army
Of useless officers, with schools barely
able to run three months in the year, yet
these hard learned funds, which should be
as sacred as the ashes Of the dead, must
be collected of the State by the services
of an attorneyl It is enough to strike one
dumb with amaxement and grief
We do not undertake to say who is to
blame. But whether il be the school
boards, the State board of education, the
auditor, or the treasurer, we are sure that
is disgrace to the administration under
which such outrageous practices are
possible.
One-half the school funds for collecting
the other half o, ye Gods! This beats
the famous Wiltz- Nc Emery land contract
In the summer of 1885 the school
board of Grant parish made an
agreement with w. r. Rutland "a
allow him one-haf of whatever
money he collected that was due the
parish from the State interest on
10th sections for back years. Under
this agreement he paid the parish
$40 SO on the 28th day Of October
1886, and about half that amount
at another time, we believe. If We
understand the matter Alright thif
was balance that had wrongfully
been kept back by the State off,
cials, and of which Mr.. Rutland
had in some way become aware
We think the Telegraph is wrong II
supposing that Rutland gets any
thing at ell for interest collected
for years subsequent to 1884 How
ever, as the Telegraph justly OBJ
serves, it has come to q pretty pas
In Louisiana when the people have
to pay lawyers to make her officials
perform their duties. We had
occasion to remark this fact two
years ago, but the administration
organs sat down on us SO hard, an(
we received so little encouragement
from other quarters, that we wer'
glad to hide our diminished head il
silence. Better look sharp, Mr.
Telegraph.

Public Roads.

Those who are afraid thatthe con-
viets may be kept in idleness
should have their attention called
to the subject Of public roads.
Good public roads are of more
va'ue to country than railroads;
but with our present system of
woodworking, good roads are an
impossibility during thu winter
and spring -the very time when
needed the most. To work the roads
by contract would necessitate the
levying of q road tax to raise the
necessary funds. This plan works
well in thckly settled countries
but this section is so thinly set
tied that tax for this purpose
would be very heavy. The best
plan for woodworking is to do il
with convict labor. Were the con-
victs in The penitentiary divided
out among the several coun-
ties there would be a force of
several hands to each. To
this force should be added al! the
jail convicts. These, working I'M
der the direction of a competent
overseer, and with proper tools
supplied by the counties, would
accomplish a great deal in the
course OF q year; and in the course
OF a few years system like this
steadily followed, would give the
people splendid roads.
